1880s Autograph Album of Annie V. Merrill of Buckfield, Maine

1880s autograph album of Annie V. Merrill of Buckfield, Maine.

The album is approximately 5-1/4" x 3-1/2" and contains 59 autographs of relatives and friends, a presentation page and a page inscribed by Annie herself. The presentation page indicates that Annie received the album on her birthday in 1883 from her sister Clara.

From online research, hopefully correct:

Annie V. Merrill was born at Buckfield, Maine, on 22 January 1865, daughter of Charles and Sarah True (Chipman) Merrill, born at Buckfield and at East Oxford, Maine, respectively.
